    “Some countries” is a low bar, we’re in a discussion of the two largest and most hostile militaries on earth. Do you think Google paid trolls are in this comment section?

      We are living in a world right now where Google and Amazon have paid for the campaign of and direct access to the president.

      We also lived in the same world where an oil company installed their chairman as the vice president who then was able to get the entire administration to invade Iraq and used the entire media apparatus to lie about why. It feels like you’re intentionally using a narrow definition of propaganda to minimize the effects of corporate propaganda.

        Chinese owned TikTok and Russian troll farms also bought access. Elon Musk got fired from his advisor position despite buying Twitter, like 50x as much money as Kamala’s campaign funds total. There is no friendship or loyalty from people like Trump, purely transactional, and right now Amazon and Google dont have enough to offer in order to tell him what to do. They support him because he lowers their taxes and weakens regulatory bodies.
